When you're done, click OK. You will be returned to your blank page with
the new margins set.

We're going to set up a Tab Stop for the first line of each paragraph. We
can then indent by pressing the Tab key on the keyboard. To set a Tab stop,
do the following:

Still on Page Layout (just Layout in later versions
of Word), locate the Paragraph panel

Click the small arrow in the bottom right of the Paragraph
panel:

This will bring up the Indents and Spacing dialogue box,
which you've met before. (You brought up this dialogue box from the Paragraph
panel on the Home ribbon, previously. But it's the same one.)

Click the Tabs button in the bottom left to bring up
the Tabs dialogue box:

We're going to change the Default tab stop. A default is a number
that is built into the programme. If you look at the top right of the Tabs
dialogue box you'll see the figure of 1.27 cm for the "Default tab stops"
(or the equivalent in inches). This default number will be the same for everybody
with the same version of Microsoft Word. You can, of course, change it. But
what you are changing here is the size of the jump that the cursor makes when
you press the Tab key on your keyboard. So with the cursor blinking on the
first line, when you press the tab key, your cursor will jump 1.27 centimetres.

Click inside the text box next to "Default tab
stops". Delete the number 1.27 and type in 1.5 instead (or 0.59 if
you're working in inches)

When you have finished, click the OK button

On your new blank page, make sure your cursor is blinking
at the start of a line

Press the tab key on your keyboard

Your cursor should now jump 1.5 centimetres.

All right, time to insert the text file. We'll do that in the next lesson
below.
